I hope we don't rush him. Still seems the potential for him to play managed minutes in the reserves. If he doesn't I personally am tempted to infer that he won't play seniors next week either.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Won’t see him in the seniors until post bye. Same with Parker.

yes, definitely no need to rush anyone back, that's the whole point of "depth" ...
we're going along fine, building the momentum and cohesion of a team not forced to make a lot of changes ... which was exactly the problem about this time last season

 

[the hypnotoad]

Won’t see him in the seniors until post bye. Same with Parker.

yes, that certainly seems the sensible approach ... and include cunningham in that too, in fact he gets whatever time he needs

 

[The King!]

fitness should be fine

 

[Ticky009]

Yes, i tend to agree. No need to rush them back when we're winning well without them.

Could do with Adams in the middle to fix up our clearance count which still far from outstanding.

 

[Punts]

Will see him against wce

I keep forgetting we have a bye in round 5 so whenever I see someone say they can play "after the bye" I keep thinking geez that's a bit conservative

 

[Ticky009]

Will see him against wce

That works for me.

 

[The King!]

If they do a Taylor Swift song when he returns I will scream

Maybe, but he's a footy player and the player's gonna play, play, play, play, play

Pretty certain Adams won't be back this week, but the timing of the early byes this year could hardly be better.

The round five bye gives us a little more time for player recovery. We'll have the extra practice time to rejig the side and we can use the post-bye game against West Coast to bring everyone back up to speed and hit our straps for another bunch of (mostly) tough games until the Round 12 bye.

Having Adams, Parker and Mills to boost our midfield stocks for the second half of the year is timely. It's a fairly tough fixture with no byes until the finals. We might need the depth. Sheldrick too. Hopefully some talls will have shown enough in the 2s and be hammering on the door through the back half of the year. We may need to rest some of our KPPs and sort out any niggles to ensure we can take our best team to the finals, fresh and ready to take it up a few notches.

Hope Parker, Mills and Adams are all on hand for the Round 23 Thuggondon game at Marvel. Combined with Heeney and Rowbottom they'll show Thug Cheats' supporters what real toughness looks like, so they'll realise it's not about talking tough and cheap shots on the opposition.

 

[Callipygian]

My main thought is we don't need to rush anyone back. My secondary thought is that they may want to reintroduce players to the side incrementally rather than all (ok, both - because really I'm talking about Adams and Parker) at once. So if Taylor plays next week and then Parker returns after the bye, that works. If they both come back after the bye, that works too.

In the meantime, will Fox return or will Mitchell get a debut? Sorry, I'll repost that in a more appropriate thread.

You need to shake it off

Only in his wildest dreams.

An infraction notice incoming for Robbieando

Parker needs to be playing sooner rather than later to hit 300 this year though.

Horse: "Taylor, in the team sheet for this week there's a Blank Space baby, and I'll write your name"

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Anymore Swift puns, you'll all get a people's redcard.

 

[MR0808]

Why is there so much talk about Travis' girlfriend?

People are disturbing.

You win!

How do so many people know direct quotes from Taylor Swift songs? I’ve never actively paid attention to any of the lyrics.

I know very little about her. I gather she is not an upgrade on Billie Holiday.

She is a modern day Marlene Dietrich
